"I'm very proud of the effort from the girls today," said head coach Steve Barsby. "They have continued to work hard throughout the year. Hopefully we can continue to play well tomorrow in the final."

The second slot was the first doubles match to finish, as Macy Polk (Powder Springs, Ga.) and Hannah Serdinia (Suwanee, Ga.) made short work of Thaisa Pereira and Barbora Sebkova 8-1. The Bobcat freshman duo is now 8-3 on the year.

The Saints picked up their first and final point of the match in first doubles, when Camille Clausse-Pujo (Bourdeaux, France) and Ivana Marevic (Rottweil, Germany) gave Esther Santiago and Hanna Goettsching all they could handle in an 8-6 bout.

The first two singles results came in nearly simultaneously, as Macy Polk beat Sebkova 6-2, 6-0 in first singles and Krupp topped Anika Cohen 6-1, 6-0 in the sixth slot. Macy Polk improves to 16-7, while Krupp now owns a 13-5 singles mark.
